I have started down the long and lonely road of rustoration (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Just started attacking the windscreen frame as it appears to be the worst part on the car (even the hell hole look better) and this is what I have discovered. Beyond the pitting it all seems quite solid so what is the best way to tackle this for good, if there is such a thing One: Attached image(s) |

The lead soldering sounds interesting, I may have to grind the pitting back (as long as it hasn't gone all the way through) and learn the lost art of lead.
I do agree with Gint in that all the rusty metal should be chopped out and replaced but lead filling ontop of good metal is as good as new metal right? 914s are a rare comodity here and parts cars without rust in the same places are pretty much non existent. The last complete screen fame I saw for sale was about £1500 Does anyone have any experience with lead or am I on my own with this one? I definately want to avoid plastic body filler except for final smoothing out where it cant be avoided Either that or I will have to learn to fabricate sheet metal which could be a challenge |
